Legally, you will not be entitled to tenancy (or legally allowed to rent or own a home) until you reach the age of eighteen, no matter what state you live in. Until that time, you won't be able to rent a proper apartment or home without your parents' official consent. If they will not give consent and you're not willing to wait until you turn eighteen, your only other option may be to stay with a friend for a while until the situation improves. If your reasons for wanting to leave include abuse, neglect, or dangerous behavior on the part of your parents, you must tell an adult, counselor, or other trusted individual.
